is this ground hog day, or is ground
hog day tomorrow? The Observer re
fuses to say, for to name this day as
the ono upon which the ground hog
sees his shadow and disappears for
six weeks, then a positive element will
dispute us. Should we say that Feb'
niary 2 Is ground hog day, then there
Is always that other class, to dispute
us. Consequently, The Observer Is
keeping close watch of shadows today
and will continue Its vigilance tomor
